Rumor: Nikon Mirrorless


Email Page | Comments

The flip-up mirror has been a standard SLR feature since Nikon introduced the Nikon F some 60 years ago. However in the digital era, the mirror is probably the single biggest item holding DSLR performance back - the blackout the mirror causes limits the maximum frame rate, and puts limits on AF performance during burst shooting.

Several manufacturers are already experimenting with mirrorless systems, whether using a fixed pellicle mirror (that robs some light from the sensor - not ideal on high-ISO bodies), EVF (Electronic View Finder) or some other technology.

Below are a list of rumors regarding the Nikon Mirrorless, newest first. Please rate how credible you believe these to be, and feel free to add your own comments/thoughts.

April Advertising

Date: 1/20/2011
Source: Thom Hogan

Rating: 2/5, Votes: 1

Hogan is reporting (see Jan 20th entry) that he's heard from two different and unconnected sources about advertising plans by Nikon for a new camera. These ad's will run in April in both newspapers and magazines. He also states, that based on the wording, that this has to be Nikon's mirrorless camera.

Pro Mirrorless in April

Date: 1/18/2011
Source: MR

Rating: 1/5, Votes: 1

According to MirrorlessRumors.com (see source link below), Nikon will be launching a Pro Mirrorless system in April (so as not to cannibalize their popular entry level cameras, at least according to their source), based on a tweaked Sony sensor (either 16mp or 24mp). They claim their sources are "veeeeeery good" (with six 'e's, which always adds to credibility!).

SonyAlphaRumors also picked this up (looks like the two sites have the same owner though), and rated it SR4, which is one of their very highest credibility ratings.

Just doesn't smell right...
